You can cut narrow strips of aluminum foil and cover the fluted edges; this can be problematic, though, since it's difficult to get the foil to stay where you want it. Or you can buy the commercial item, which is much easier to work with. It's shaped like a giant tin or plastic ring and sits directly on the edges of the pie, leaving the center open for browning. Most kitchen stores and some discount department stores will carry this for about $20.

How long can you keep shortcrust pastry in the fridge?
To pre bake a pie crust takes about 20 minutes. But this can vary, depending on your oven's accuracy. Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before putting the pie crust in the oven. And if you are pre baking the pie crust, be sure to prick the crust with a fork all over the entire sides and bottom of the crust to prevent shrinkage. Some bakers prefer to also put a 'filler' in the crust before pre baking, such as dried beans. This helps it to retain its shape, and also helps with even browning. If the edge of the crust begins to brown before the bottom of the crust is done, you can cover the edges of the crust during the last few minutes of baking.
